An encouraging speaker who possesses impeccable written and verbal communication skills with 20+ years of experience preaching, teaching, leading, and ministering to children, youth, and adults.

After serving churches for more than twenty years Russell set his heart on communicating the truths of scripture in new ways to new audiences and so The Heart Of Things was born.

The Heart of Things was conceived as a way to help people grow in their relationship with God and gain a deeper understanding of scripture through brief daily podcasts, blog posts, speaking engagements, and forth coming books.
